Re: spline lock

Peter-Although I have never experienced "spline lock", I can answer the last 
2 questions.  The axle shafts have to be able change lengths to accommodate 
suspension movement, just as the drive shaft does on cars with a live axle.  
If the splines are seized from lack of lubrication, crud, or rust, this 
movement is impaired.  The remedy-disassemble, clean, lubricate, and make 
sure the rubber boot is in good condition. I usually do this about every 2 
years.  Berry
